1. Isomaltulose powder is authorised to be placed on the market within the Union. Isomaltulose powder shall be included in the Union list of novel foods set out in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470. 2. The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
ANNEX The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470 is amended as follows: (1) in Table 1 (Authorised novel foods), the following entry is inserted: Authorised novel food Conditions under which the novel food may be used Additional specific labelling requirements Other requirements Data protection ‘ Isomaltulose powder Specified food category Maximum levels 1. The designation of the novel food on the labelling of the foodstuffs containing it shall be “isomaltulose powder”. 2. The designation of the novel food on the labelling shall be accompanied by indication that the “Isomaltulose is a source of glucose and fructose”.’ All foods, excluding foods and drinks intended specifically for infants and young children (2) in Table 2 (Specifications), the following entry is inserted: Authorised Novel Food Specification ‘ Isomaltulose powder Description/Definition: The novel food is isomaltulose powder produced from sucrose by a microbiological process using Serratia plymuthica . The dry matter content is a mixture of mono-and disaccharides, mainly composed of isomaltulose (≥ 75 %) and trehalulose (≤ 13 %) and, to a minor extent, glucose, fructose, sucrose and oligosaccharides (traces). Characteristics/composition: Isomaltulose (% DM): ≥ 75 Trehalulose (% DM): ≤ 13 Glucose (% DM): ≤ 3 Fructose (% DM): ≤ 4 Sucrose (% DM): ≤ 5 Moisture (%): ≤ 7 Ash (%): ≤ 0,05 Protein (%): < 0,1 Chemical identity of isomaltulose: Chemical (IUPAC) name: α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 → 6)-D-fructofuranose Common name: Isomaltulose CAS number: 13718–94-0 Molecular formula: C 12 H 22 O 11 Molecular weight: 342,30 g/mol Chemical identity of trehalulose: Chemical (IUPAC) name: α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 → 1)-D-fructofuranose Common name: Trehalulose CAS number: 51411–23-5 Molecular formula: C 12 H 22 O 11 Molecular weight: 342,30 g/mol Heavy metals: Lead (mg/kg): ≤ 0,1 Microbiological criteria: Total aerobic microbial count: < 100 CFU/g Total yeast and mould count: < 100 CFU/g E. coli : < 10 CFU/g Enterobacteriaceae: < 100 CFU/g Salmonella : not detected in 25 g CFU: colony forming units DM: dry matter’
